Jerry Grant, that’s interesting as to what you would pick as your favorite scene in ”Foxcatcher,” but like other incidents in that movie, it didn’t happen as portrayed. To reference a story by Aisha Harris at Slate.com, yes, du Pont did shoot a documentary about himself. BUT … ”it was Mark, not Dave, who was asked to say a few words on camera about du Pont being a great leader. He tried to put them off, but they were persistent: “I got drunk and then told them du Pont was great, blah, blah, blah. I was so drunk that they couldn’t use the footage in the final product.” ” … Also puzzling is how the film depicts the shooting as if it happened not long after Mark left Foxcatcher, when in reality it was 7 years later. Bennett Miller admits, ”Time gets a little collapsed, and we don’t get specific about it.” It’s frustrating. Why tell the story of real-life people if you fictionalize so many events and create new timelines?
“Whiplash = Boyhood > Everything else”
Okay that’s a better formulation of my position as well, Chris Price! They’re my #’s 1 and 2, respectively.
I fully agree, WW. Weird insinuations that don’t help us see the motive. It just feels like sloppy storytelling frankly.
The best scene in the movie is when Mark Ruffalo is placed in front of the camera to talk about Du Pont is a mentor to him. Or the scene when cold Du Pont walks into Ruffalo’s hotel room with his family, and there is a distinct clash of class values and clash of vibes. Small things like that. The rest is so formally tight and without texture or depth. Ruffalo brings the human element, and does so magnificently. Maybe his best since “You Can Count on Me”. But even Ruffalo’s character–by the end it all feels so contrived, because it becomes obviously clear why they were trying to play him up as likable. Ugh.
”Who cares if they had sex” (in ”Foxcatcher”)? … Spoilers ahead: Geez, it goes to du Pont’s motive. Why did this rich guy invite this poor wrestler to Foxcatcher and sponsor him? Purely for patriotic purposes? Or did he have an ulterior motive? Or both? The very reason why Mark Schultz recently went ballistic and tore apart the movie and Bennett Miller is because he’s now ticked off that some critics perceive him as gay and he’s insulted by the movie’s depiction. There’s a fleeting glimpse of a late-night session between du Pont and Schultz on the floor. Was it just wrestling or was there more? Shortly after, Schultz goes on a rampage. Why? He tells his brother: ”You know why I can’t stay here anymore.” Why? ”Foxcatcher” tries to insinuate something but won’t address it directly. In ”Imitation Game,” they talk about homosexuality but won’t show it. Geez, it’s 2015, people!
I’ll agree Whiplash was the most gripping film of the year and I say that because not for one second was the noose loosened from my neck. It only got tighter. From a screenplay standpoint though, I’ll have to disagree with you, Jesus. I felt the ending was absolutely perfect. I truly felt it was going to end 5 or more minutes than it actually did but once it continued and we saw Andrew’s perseverance and Fletcher’s revelation I realized how perfect it was. Everybody essentially got what they wanted. The only complaint I had with the script was the female character wasn’t used enough. I get Andrew’s drumming came first over relationships but then why introduce her at all? That’s about the only thing I found wrong with the movie.
Whiplash = Boyhood > Everything else
“”Foxcatcher” is a frustrating exercise in style over substance.” Yes exactly. Remarkably little substance. And the story really doesn’t come together. Frankly, I don’t even understand the primary event–the shooting. Frustrating movie.
As for Whiplash, I’ll say for me it was simply the most gripping, competent, and enjoyable movie I saw this year, and the most well-told story. It’s currently my #1 in a very weak year. There is no single movie this year that has me rushing out to my friends and family saying, “you’ve got to see this movie!!!” That’s a sad sign.
“Whiplash” ending is quite terrible, screenwritting wise.
And how long is “Whiplash” screenplay either? At least one third of a film is written with lines like “Band play Caravan”, “Band paly Whiplash”, “drum solo”.
And the supposed twists, are quite predictable. An abusive villain like this one, unavoidably has in a Hollywood film, some skeletons in the closet, his obsession with pushing someone over the limits, becomes unbelievable when he actually makes the tricky twist of revenge at the motherf*cking Carnegie Hall, compromising his own prestige, when he needs it the most. And so on. Even there is a moment in the movie, that directly links to “The Social Network” whith that conversation with the girlfriend. Even the music scenes aren’t too complex to shoot – the challenge is in the editing, which is superb – and become overlong and frankly boring if you’re not into jazz. And the characters, well, they’re pretty basic and one note, both of them, and almost written to become a sucession of Oscar clips in the hands of two capable actors… JK Simmons who I love, since long ago, just becomes a kind of Ronald Lee Ermey rip-off, becoming over the top, many times. It’s in the close ups in silence where he becomes really deserving of the Oscar nom, but in the wide shots, I’m in doubt. I will put his performance in comparison with my fave so far of 2015, Patrick D’Assumçao in “Stranger by the Lake”, or how to bare a three-dimensional character’s soul, without ever delivering a show off shot, nor an Oscar clip. Just calm, poignant delivering of the lines, in an extremely naturalistic way, while peeling the character in front of the camera. “Whiplash” is to me, a *** or *** 1/2 film (the extra merit being the film editing) and I am not surprised so many people is blinded by its flashy nature, but it ain’t really good filmmaking or writting.
“Is du Pont closeted? Did he and Schultz have sex? That’s the giant elephant in the movie, but it never gets addressed. ”
Yes as Carell portrayed it so brilliantly. Who cares if they have sex? And why should it be addressed? Same with The “gay” issue regarding The Immitation Game, again, why is the gay angle in du Pont’s life so important in the movie? I just don’t get it. It’s not a biopic of du Pont. It’s so much more about the issue of “did du Pont and Schultz have sex or not”. For me, it’s more about the relationship of the Schultz brothers and the embarrassment of du Pont’s riches.
”Foxcatcher” is a frustrating exercise in style over substance. (Spoilers ahead!) It’s a story about a creepy, rich guy (du Pont) who hires Mark Schultz, an Olympic wrestler, and, in essence, turns him into his boy toy. Is du Pont closeted? Did he and Schultz have sex? That’s the giant elephant in the movie, but it never gets addressed. In real life, du Pont was a paranoid schizophrenic (which is really played down). He was also sued by another wrestler for unwanted ”sexual advances.” (Not in the movie, nor any evidence of Mark’s girlfriend.) Mark and brother Dave never worked at the same time at du Pont’s compound, Foxcatcher. And Mark stayed at Foxcatcher for SEVEN years before the shooting occurred. I’m baffled by the movie, and the critics who went gaga for it.
“Repeat of 2010 on the way; Harvey pulls another King’s Speech, Boyhood is this year’s Social Network, and Birdman is the Black Swan.” So, that means that the Best Picture winner will be either American Sniper or Selma, right? Haha! 🙂 But that is an interesting observation and opinion. I just don’t see The Imitation Game winning Best Picture. It’s going to be either Boyhood, or American Sniper will slip past and win. Some say Selma could upset Boyhood, but I don’t know. There seems to be too much backlash against it. Just like when Zero Dark Thirty lost.
Off topic, but this is not going to go over well here; Chloe Grace Moretz just won the 2015 People’s Choice for best movie actress over Reese (Wild) and Emma (Birdman). Gone Girl wins best thriller movie.
Okay just saw “Foxcatcher” and it is officially the worst film I’ve seen that is under consideration. Amazing how a great director/writer team, a great cast, and a good story can result in a movie so wooden. Carell and Tatum “play” their parts technically well, but they are basically like two autistic robots that are so distant that nothing feels particularly tragic or even riveting as the film progresses. The silence and attention to detail was gripping early on, but not as it went on, because there was no there there. Ruffalo is by far the best part of the movie, as he plays an actual human being. He deserves a nomination. But jeez what a disappointment, because Bennett Miller clearly didn’t have a real vision for this movie besides “keep it quiet and serious and cast good actors”. Capote and Moneyball (especially Capote) tower over this. As I think back on “Capote” now, I think, “what I would give for a movie that good to be released this year!” As it is, Foxcatcher would only be nominated for BP because it presents itself as a good movie without actually being one.
Boyhood > Whiplash & the rest of the films listed up there, the only film better than Boyhood is Interstellar
Really excited this week, I’ll be seeing Unbroken, Selma & Inherent Vice
For the record, I did see ”Whiplash” and found it as vastly overrated, as some find ”Boyhood.” Different strokes for different folks. And while I have the highest respect for Miles Teller’s incredibly committed performance, I couldn’t get past J.K. Simmons’ over-the-top, sadistic villain or the contrived, hokey ending.
“Whiplash > Boyhood”
Boyhood > Whiplash.
“btw the Birdman snub is the big giveaway here: Boyhood truly has no legitimate competition for the Oscar Best Picture win right now. Right now…”
Birdman wasn’t eligible for WGA.
“No Best Director nominations so far but if it gets a DGA nom, we should probably pack it up, right?”
Nope, I don’t buy that for a second. If Tyldum gets a DGA nod, it will obviously be good news for The Imitation Game, but it hardly means the movie is automatically winning Best Picture. The comparisons with The King’s Speech are shaky at best. For one thing, The King’s Speech had a much more favorable critical response than The Imitation Game has received. Also, Tom Hooper won director at DGA and at the Oscars. Tyldum is going to have to get past Linklater to win director, and I just don’t see that happening at the moment. At this stage of the race back in 2010, no one doubted that Hooper would get nominated for director at the Oscars. The same can’t be said for Tyldum.
Oh, WGA
So Imitation Game has hit with NBR, AFI, Globes, BFCA, PGA, SAG (x3) ACE, ADG, ASC, CDG…did I forget anything? No Best Director nominations so far but if it gets a DGA nom, we should probably pack it up, right? Repeat of 2010 on the way; Harvey pulls another King’s Speech, Boyhood is this year’s Social Network, and Birdman is the Black Swan.
Really bummed that WGA dismissed everything PTA did to adapt Inherent Vice. He more then deserved a nomination. Even if the movie itself fell short (which I don’t think it did, but some do).
@Mari WHIPLASH hasn’t played everywhere. I haven’t seen it yet either, but will watch it where I can find it because I’ve waited too long for 2014 movies.
OT: I actually want to take a second to support our French friends who were attacked today. We all need to stand up for freedom together. These fear tactics won’t work. Stay strong.
OT: CDGA announced.
http://costumedesignersguild.com/articles-videos/news-events/cdga17-nominees/
Ben Woulds, I could hardly agree with you more about Princess Kaguya. I saw it a couple of days ago and was floored. And totally, that score! Hisaishi Jo has utterly outdone himself with his work on this film. Ought to be up for a dozen Oscars.
and with this, Guardians of the Galaxy leaves the longshot status at Best Picture and joins the Dark Horse wagon.
Nah. Nah nah nah. The WGA is vastly larger than the Academy’s writers branch. Additionally, its tastes are noticeably better. This is true of pretty much every guild in existence. Whereas the guilds are populated by a great deal of working people just voting for the favourite films they saw at the multiplex on their weekends off, the Academy is a mixture of old white men in their Beverly Hills mansions sitting in front of a sad pile of screeners and bona fide artists with the intelligence to give nominations to films like Amour, A Separation, In the Loop and Away from Her in recent years.
btw the Birdman snub is the big giveaway here: Boyhood truly has no legitimate competition for the Oscar Best Picture win right now. Right now…
“Whiplash > Boyhood”
+1
Paul, if you’re wondering why Whiplash is showing up everywhere maybe you should SEE IT. Then you can have an informed opinion. I don’t understand how you think you can judge quality without seeing something.
I’m afraid I’ve got some bad news but GOTG isn’t happening at Oscars. THEORY OF EVERYTHING was inelligible and WHIPLASH was in Original.
Yes, i really liked and enjoyed Grand Budapest Hotel – but emerged from it thinking this is a really well made romp – fluff. The production values and Fiennes energetic performance the standouts. The story, as is always with Anderson, well told; but hardly challenging. In the final Oscar race, it will earn multiple noms but ultimately will not be a serious challenger at all.
… and “Whiplash” strenght, ISN’T the screenplay. At all. I mean, come on.
… and with this, Guardians of the Galaxy leaves the longshot status at Best Picture and joins the Dark Horse wagon.
Kind of surprised, neither The Lego Movie nor Snowpiercer made it. On the animated, maybe it could have been a cathegory confussion thing, but it certainly deserved to be up there (it’s a better screenplay on all levels than “Grand Budapest Hotel”, for example, as much as I love it). Snowpiercer is a huge snub, but probably explained by the screeners/promotion, nothing else. They got a way more limited FYC budget than any film that did make the cut.
I only saw BOYHOOD yesterday. I agree with those who don’t like it. It was a bunch of nothing wrapped in cheesecloth. The more I think about it, the more it pisses me off. It has the potential to be a worse winner than CRASH.
Honestly, I’m not too surprised by the GOTG inclusion. They nominated Looper and Star Trek a few years back, so the WGA has a little sci-fi bent. Though I wasn’t a fan, GOTG was beloved by audiences and critics. It’s not completely undeserving. I don’t think it’ll repeat at the Oscars, though.
Shallow adapted screenplay field – ineligible contenders = left field nominees
(my favorite WGA surprise nominee was I LOVE YOU PHILIP MORRIS from 2010. That film deserved more attention, le sigh.)
If Sniper tries the Hurt Locker path, then scrutiny of Kyle’s claims would/should increase. Especially after the Selma hit.
CB
Thanks for your response.
To be honest, I haven’t seen that film yet. However, currently, I am under impression that The Imitation Game is #really gaining momentum more and more, at least to my relatively subjective perception, as well as certain shots in which Cumberbatch’s character happens to have appeared and that he seems to have showcased his depth more or less. I believe it is reasonable to assume that, whether or not we like it, he is most likely one of the locks for the Best Actor nom (though not necessarily for the win [to one’s perception], at least for now). Other than that, I just can’t make any meaningful comment without coming across as trolling (since I have yet to experience it first).
+++
Anyway, though extremely so long a shot, it would be refreshing to see one of my favorite writers-directors Woody Allen’s name come up out of the blue in the Oscar Screenplay nom [lol].
A nomination here for a movie like Guardians is exactly why “Oscar Watching” is so much fun…I don’t think anyone seriously thinks it can get a writing nom, but how cool to think that there is even an outside chance (insert your favorite movie here that ever got a strange nomination out of nowhere)
I’m really glad to see Guardians in there.
I usually don’t like action movies and superhero movies — just not my thing. But Guardians was a remarkably witty and clever and nuanced film, primarily because of (1) the screenplay and (2) the charm and appeal of the actors. It totally deserves to be recognized by a nomination, even though it is on the surface a popcorn/genre film. I’ve told a lot of friends who would NEVER go to a superhero movie to see Guardians and they’ve all been surprised by how good it is.
I agree with CB and Benutty re: Boyhood. Love your description, CB, 12 short films strung together. I thought it started very well but got worse as it went along, the cliches bouncing off each other everywhere. I was surprised because Linklater is such a fine filmmaker, but most people I know agree (whereas obviously the critics wildly disagree). Another overrated Oscar Best Picture is about to happen.
Best Picture 2014: The Tale of Princess Kaguya. I wasn’t even going to see it, but did last night, and was blown away. The score is incredible (especially in the last 10 minutes), deserves to win hands down, despite the brilliance of Under the Skin. I’m not a fan of the Oscars but I do hope Kaguya at least gets an Animated Film nomination, which would deservedly increase its profile.
By the way, seriously at this point I can’t imagine Benedict Cumberbatch being excluded from the final Best Actor list (Oscar). (Certainly, Keaton and Redmayne most likely in, as well.) It would take an act of God, a huge one too, to prevent that from happening.
I don’t see why Cumberbatch deserves the Oscar. His acting wasn’t particularly brilliant or memorable, and that movie was, well, just sort of there. Really dull – weak script, lack of plotting, false grandiosity, lack of depth. That ending … woof. It is the most ‘Oscar bait’ movie I’ve ever seen. ‘Kings Speech’ had a flavor, a tone, momentum, a real sense of cinema to it, if you want to talk good Oscar bait, but ‘Imitation Game’ was just flat all around.
Your loss, Mr. Different.
Hey, I really enjoyed Guardians, which is the biggest movie of the year. Not to mention Whiplash (beloved by many), Gone Girl, American Sniper and Wild. I’m not too different.
…other than ‘Boyhood’, which was, as I’ve said, 12 mediocre (and some downright bad) short films strung together.
Your loss, Mr. Different.
I think only Keaton, Cumberbatch and Redmayne are safe.
I think Gyllenhaal is in too.
The fifth is between Oyelowo, Cooper (if the movie REALLY surges), Carell and Spall.
Clint Eastwood’s AMERICAN SNIPER will be nominated for-
Best Picture
Best Director
Best Adapted Screenplay
Best Cinematography
Best Sound
Best Sound Editing
Best Film Editing
Selma will either be a big hit or miss with the Oscars; Expect David Oyelowo to be vulnerable for the likes of SUCH a competitive Best Actor race. Steve Carrell, Jake Gyllenhaal, Bradley Cooper, and Mr. Turner himself are just some of the men vying for slots with presumed locks like Redmayne, Keaton and Cumberbatch. Snubs are happening this year people, get ready!
By the way, seriously at this point I can’t imagine Benedict Cumberbatch being excluded from the final Best Actor list (Oscar). (Certainly, Keaton and Redmayne most likely in, as well.) It would take an act of God, a huge one too, to prevent that from happening.
And no hatred in particular, but for some reason the idea of Cooper sneaking in for three years in a row is a bit peculiar to me given that to my perception so it seems some of talented actors/actresses need to have been waiting for all their lives just to garner at long last the noms or even simply to be mentioned only.
Guardians of the Galaxy was the funniest film of the year. Of course it deserved inclusion! Grateful to see the guild recognize it. Inherent Vice deserved a spot too though for turning that convoluted book into something, anything, enjoyable to watch. I think Wild stole its spot iMO.
American Sniper is not like Wolf of Wall Street. WOWS had many critics awards nominations and while divisive, had much support. I dont se Bradley Cooper getting in, sorry.
Lol @ CB. You nailed my reaction to Mr. Turner.
And I hope Cumberbatch doesn’t get snubbed. He and Knightley are terrific in The Imitation Game.
Selma is a strong possibility as an original screenplay nominee as well.
re: “…‘Boyhood’, which was, as I’ve said, 12 mediocre (and some downright bad) short films strung together.”
Amen.
I’m so glad Guardians got in. It’s a legitimately fine script (“What do you mean it’s better than 11%?!”), and just a lovely movie overall.
Guardians of the galaxy… Best picture nomination! At the Oscars!
Wow! Guardians . . . . Never thought it would make it. Congrats, though.
Alas, my poor Inherent Vice . . . .
It looks like American Sniper’s got quite a decent number of supporters other than, let’s say, reportedly, directing and overall performances. (Basically, anything with well-written screenplay and story among other elements typifies a good start in my book; so, I’m looking forward to it and to experiencing by myself how the film portrays the main character (the sniper), his mindset, etc.)
I have a strong feeling that two of these original screenplay nominees will be snubbed at the Oscars in favor of Birdman (duh) and Mr. Turner (just look at Mike Leigh’s track record). But which two will get the boot ?
Mr. Turner had a screenplay? I thought it was just beautiful shots in which Timothy Spall does his best facial expression of a grunting warthog.
Great list – other than ‘Boyhood’, which was, as I’ve said, 12 mediocre (and some downright bad) short films strung together.
Great choices for Guardians, Gone Girl, Whiplash, and Wild. Wild is an especially excellent movie. Jean-Marc Vallee is an awesome director who should be getting more buzz for making two excellent movies in two years.
GAH!
Glad I deemed this guild ineligible for serious consideration yesterday.
Cooper looks like a strong possibility now, yes. I’m afraid it’s going to be Keaton/Redmayne/Cumberbatch/Cooper/Oyelowo, but I’m still dreaming about and hoping for Gyllenhaal and Fiennes to make it in instead of Cumberbatch and Cooper. Carell isn’t out of the picture either, of course.
Damn, I’m gonna explode with excitement when the nominations announcement get to this category on Jan 15th.
Forgive them, PTA. They don’t know what to do…
“I have a strong feeling that two of these original screenplay nominees will be snubbed at the Oscars in favor of Birdman (duh) and Mr. Turner (just look at Mike Leigh’s track record). But which two will get the boot ?”
Whiplash has now been relegated to the adapted screenplay category by AMPAS. The most likely Oscar original screenplay nominees are Boyhood, Birdman, The Grand Budapest Hotel (all in), and then two from Nightcrawler/Foxcatcher/Mr. Turner.
Adapted screenplay? Probably The Imitation Game, Gone Girl, The Theory of Everything, Whiplash, and Wild. (I would have said Inherent Vice over Wild, but now that Wild got in with WGA, and Wild has Nick Hornby on the ticket, Wild probably has the advantage.)
Also, this wolfofwallstreetesque late surge for American Sniper suggests that Bradley Cooper WILL go 3/3 and receive his third consecutive Oscar nomination, second in Best Actor. Who will he knock out ? Gyllenhaal or Carell ? And does that mean that Oyelowo and Fiennes are out ? Oh, the pre-nominations excitement ! The best part of awards season !
Wow American Sniper just won’t take the hint. It had better be good.
So Birdman and Selma should replace Whiplash and Foxcatcher(/Nightcrawler).
Adapted seems less competitive, but there’s more wiggle room here as a result. I hope Whiplash doesn’t get screwed. So Theory would have to knock out Wild, though I wouldn’t be so shocked or outraged if Theory’s script missed. Even then, Inherent Vice and Still Alice (a great backstory) are still missing.
I have a strong feeling that two of these original screenplay nominees will be snubbed at the Oscars in favor of Birdman (duh) and Mr. Turner (just look at Mike Leigh’s track record). But which two will get the boot ?
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY?! Now I’ve seen everything.
Birdman, Theory of Everything, and Selma were all ineligible. Guardians is a shocker. Unbroken has been broken.
Whiplash, again?
On the rise:
Nightcrawler
American Sniper
The Grand Budapest Hotel
Guardians of the Galaxy (seriously, looking like there’s MAJOR support and 5+ Oscar nominations are possible. Imagine if this writing nom sticks, omg.)
On the fall:
The Theory of Everything (ineligible here, yes, but I mean steam really has been dissipating for it, hasn’t it?)
Mr. Turner
Interstellar (womp)
Gone Girl (I’d say the lack of an ASC nom is shocking and doesn’t bode well for a Gone Girl presence in the below-the-lines)
Selma (ineligible here, yes, but there IS something to the fact that it’s name is being left out of the conversation, eligible or not)
Damn, the Foxcatcher-Nightcrawler-Whiplash trio is sure getting a push from the guilds. Nice to see good things happen to good films.
Wild could be a surprise in BP and receive the same nominations the previous Nick Hornby scripted film got : Picture, Actress, Adapted Screenplay (An Education). For real, if it gets nominations for acting and writing, BP really isn’t that far fetched.
The WTF nod goes to Guardians of the Galaxy which will be probably replaced by WGA-ineligible The Theory of Everything at the Oscars, still it was nice to see things shaken up a bit even if only for a moment. Now it’s weird the PGA didn’t vote for it.
P.S. Kudos to Witherspoon who has been always a great actress (Election) but now proved herself to be an equally great producer. She made Gone Girl and Wild happen, both are critically acclaimed, both are moneymakers (for a little indie Wild will finish its US run well over 40M) and both could attract top behind-the-camera talent (Fincher, Hornby). Damn impressive in my book!
yeap, ‘Inherent Vice’ is going for nothing now. ‘Unbroken’ might just get a cinematography nod.
Was Birdman not eligible?
Gah….Sniper all of a sudden is in second place isn’t it?
Where is Birdman? Was it ineligible for some reason?
Guardians over Theory of Everything and Inherent Vice is crazy!
I like it.
Theory of Everything was not eligible.
The Theory of Everything loses its spot do Guardians of the Galaxy, this was unexpected!
Wild over Inherent Vice!
omg RIP Unbroken once and for all
